lyrics

Well I gave you my voice,
You stood on my tongue,
And now you know we're only good for nothing

I'm yours, you kiss me,
Under the sun,
And then you kill me with your song, 'The Lotus'

So tell me I'm yours,
And I will turn around to hold you,
Closer, my love,
Closer than the time before,
You sent me afloat,
And knowing all the things I've done,
I'll open up,
And slowly you'll unravel me,
And wrap me up in jealousy and jest

Sat on a stone,
Where slowly you'd float,
Away to places out of touch with progress

Call me your love,
And then I can board you,
Gently, you could tear apart my eyelids

Please help me unload,
And slowly we can figure out,
The things we don't know,
Every word you've given me is quite,
The show
Still every time you sing 'The Lotus', I,
Just close,
And sweetie, you are sending me,
So I'll become a memory to wreck

Spit on my lungs,
And tell me you're God,
Please keep me in your never-ending garden

Finally I cry,
The subject is dry,
And I have found that it's not me, 'The Lotus'

about

The Room Upstairs London, UK

Since forming in 2014, The Room Upstairs have become album-era hanger-on-ers, decorating themselves in retro-tinged melodies and folk-rock lyricisms. They muse on mortality, nostalgia, the passage of time, and emotional life crises (quarter, mid, or just normal "ran-out-of-milk" stuff). That said, they also wrote this biography, so maybe listen and debate the bias.
